The greatest compliment my father, a career Marine, could give anyone was to say that "he was the guy you'd want to be in a foxhole with." My Dad reserved this honor for the most courageous, honest and loyal buddy he had; the friend who would always be there for you no matter what.

For 52 years Tommy was "in the fox-hole" with me, a loyal and devoted friend who never wavered. We had many, many wonderful adventures together.

Rest in peace, my friend.

Met Tom in 1979 and worked with him in the office furniture indusrty along with Dave Dillon. He was bright, funny and great to be around. Our best day ever...me Tom and the gang on the boat on the Bay for the day. He will be missed. My heart goes out to Diana and the family.Bill Karukas (Fairfax VA)

I met & worked w/Tom in the late 70's & we kept in touch. He was articulate, funny, intelligent & a good friend. I am still in shock. God bless Diana & his family & his wide circle of friends.

I'd like to second the sentiment above. Gonzaga High School was a wonderful place to spend four years and Tom was a large part of that important time in all of our lives. May your family & friends be comforted by remembering his life, and know we are praying for you.

I knew Tom in High School. He was always upbeat and had a great smile. My sympathies go to all of his family and friends. I wish you strength in this time of sorrow.
